A complete and optimized scheme of lettered marine isotope substages spanning the last
1.0 million years is proposed. Lettered substages for Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 were …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the global monsoon that encompasses
findings from studies of both modern monsoons and paleomonsoons. We introduce a …

Variations in Earth's orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the
mechanisms that transform regional and seasonal variations in solar insolation into glacial …

Earth's climate underwent a fundamental change between 1250 and 700 thousand years
ago, the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT), when the dominant periodicity of climate cycles …

A high-resolution deuterium profile is now available along the entire European Project for
Ice Coring in Antarctica Dome C ice core, extending this climate record back to marine …

Climate variability over the past 800,000 years has long been described as being dominated
by~ 100-kyr glacial cycles, and researchers have debated whether these glacial cycles were …

Abstract Knowledge of the past variability of climate at high northern latitudes during
astronomical analogues of the present interglacial may help to inform our understanding of …

The mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) is widely recognized as a shift in paleoclimatic
periodicity from 41-to 100-kyr cycles, which largely reflects integrated changes in global ice …

Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …

Thirty years after oxygen isotope records from microfossils deposited in ocean sediments
confirmed the hypothesis that variations in the Earth's orbital geometry control the ice ages …
